Brake failure suspected in viral lorry crash [WATCH]
KUANTAN: A lorry crashed into a car at a traffic light junction near Jalan Gambang yesterday, after a suspected brake failure. The 34-year-old Perodua Bezza driver was injured in the incident, which occurred at 8.10am. "Preliminary investigations revealed that the lorry was travelling from Ipoh towards Pekan, while the car was coming from Taman Tas heading towards Air Putih," said Kuantan police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu. "Upon reaching the junction, the lorry driver claimed the brakes suddenly failed, preventing him from stopping when the traffic light turned yellow. "At the same time, the car, driven by a man, moved into the intersection and was hit by the lorry, causing it to overturn," he said in a statement. Zahari said the car driver sustained bruises on various parts of his body and received treatment at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital. The 55-year-old lorry driver was unharmed. The case is being investigated under Rule 17 of the Road Traffic Rules, which relates to a driver's position and vehicle control. A violation of Rule 17 carries a jail term of up to six months, a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both. Earlier, a 33-second clip of the accident went viral.
